Rocky Patel Autumn Collection

I hated the summer collection stuff I tried. I bought 2 Renaissance & 2 Autumns a while back.

I felt the Renaissance tasted very similar to the older Nording stuff before it was changed. I enjoyed it.

The Autumn was pretty light, creamy, and boring. Good looking cigar however.

I have one more of each resting.

I got half way through the thing and had to put it out. I can normally get all the way through the cigar if I don't like it, but this one i couldn't. I didn't like the taste and it just didn't keep me interested in it.

Seriously, Rocky's are all hype and no flavor. Well, I guess you could count "bad" as a flavor. He has more cigars under his label than all the other Marca's combined. He makes up for his bad sticks by constantly producing new sticks with new hype. When in actuality it is just another bad cigar, who he hopes people will try just once out of curiosity alone.

I hate Rocky's and they are much too overpriced IMO. (if you couldn't already tell )

I think the ITC 10th Anni and especially the Decade are both worth the hype and money. Just my

I think the name is fitting. It won't be long before they are out of style and on the clearance rack.

I've only had the Decade of those 2. I paid 10 bucks for it and was very underwhelmed.

For that money hand me a PAM 64 Principe anyday

But hey I also really like Fuente Curly Heads, so to each there own right

Just sounds like another stick out of Rockys hype machine. I have said it before and will say it again, I wish he would stick to keeping his good lines consistent rather than coming out with new cr@p every other week or season in this case. CI can only blow out so much cr@p at a time.

I personally really didn't like the ITC, but really enjoyed the Decade.

I totally agree with BamBam, I'd much rather have a Padi Ani!

Fairly mild and slightly sweet and somewhat creamy. Good morning cigar but not worth the $$$, imo.

Okay, so more to the point, if not for breakfast, then when. At approximately $8/stick, for a mild smoke, I think I'll pass.

<----- Wonders what Bam Bam thinks of RP

You really made me laugh brother.

I will stand up and say I like the ´92, will probably always smoke them if for nothing other than nostalgia.

When I really started getting into different sticks several years back I swore by RP. Not anymore... Maybe the quality has dropped or I have just opened my horizons so to speak.

I picked up the Autumn last week as I was between flights in Miami - didn´t finish it. The burn was rough, in the second third it tried to be sweet and for about 2 seconds it reminded me of a CC LGC but then it gently swayed back to an unsatisfactory cardboard taste.

Not for me anymore...
